Everyone in Dr. Kastner's office was friendly and accommodating. This was my first visit with her and honestly, these kinds of appointments are my least favorite. However, Dr. Kastner and her staff helped soothe my anxiety and the appointment went faster than I had expected. And Dr. Kastner is so nice, we had a few laughs and pleasant conversation. I have NEVER laughed at a GYN appointment before. But she is efficient as well. Suffice it to say, as long as I remain a Long Islander, Dr. Kastner will be my doctor.

Dr. Kastner was thorough and engaging. She welcomed questions and I didn't feel like she was rushing me out of the office to see other patients.
I did wait a very long time to be seen though, when there was hardly anyone in the office. I'm hoping it was just circumstantial, as it was my first visit.

She was friendly. She was not rushed, she listened patiently to me and answered all my questions. She asked about my life outside of my reason for the visit. This tells me she cares and sees me as a person, not just a patient!

She seems pleasant enough, though I only got out of there 2 hours after my appointment time, and only about 12 minutes out of that was spent with the doctor.

Good..very thorough. My only complaint would be the wait time...it was long and the visit in total was 2 hours. I was expecting a longer visit for a first appointment but not this long.
